Starbucks just announced the release of a new menu addition: the Maple Pecan Latté. The blend of espresso and milk features maple syrup and pecan, the company said, and you can check it out starting Friday.

But this isn't Starbucks' first maple flavor debut. The Maple Macchiato, for example, was also once on U.S. menus.

And for Starbucks fans who aren't crazy about coffee, there's also a new frappuccino flavor: Dark Mocha. The drink features extra dark cocoa and is also available Friday.

It's been a good year for Starbucks fans who prefer dark chocolate — in May, the company debuted the Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino, which also included extra dark cocoa.

Thousands of eager fans tuned in to a lengthy Facebook livestream earlier this month to see Starbucks debut the fall drink, which made its official return Sept. 5. But will people love the new beverages as much as the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte? Let the battle of the fall drinks begin.
